History
The country of Flowek was initially a massive country in the continent of Dimonde called Tapa del mundo. The land which covered most of the northern part had the modern day of Zvorrhybnnia, Flowek and a few other countries. This land was controlled by one dictator until in 1787, the country started to have shaky grounds with independence movements starting to take place in the states that were in Tapa del mundo. Then in 1792, the Flowek War of Independence started in the capital of Braion. Two years of war in the country and a peace deal led to the independence of the country as a whole.

With the country having independence, the way the nation was split up started, at first it was only two states, the west and the east with the capital being held in the east of the country at Utotto. But only having two states, they were starting to have conflicts between the two. The conflicts which would be called the Flowek Civil War would last for four years until 1864. William Rowan who at the time was the minister of West Flowek decided to meet up with East Flowek leader Insert name here to try and reunite the country back up again. The discussion would lead to a closure of the Civil War and be put back to the original borders and to unite the country. The plans were to expand the number of states to five which was to hopefully lower the chance of a civil war between the two former states. This would lead to the creation of Northern Flowek, Roraii and Enraoa. The Eastern part of the country would be renamed to Tonarr which would still have the capital of the country in Utotto.

After being neutral in the first Etravean Wars, they got swamped into the second version when Daléríqa invaded the country of Zvorth in January 1939. After struggling to hold the country which did involve the battle of Brstevo and Insert city here, the Flowek forces as part of the Allied forces retreated back into Country here. In 1946, part of the territory on the western part of the country was created for the new capital which would be called Braion.

In 1986, the country voted to change the flag which saw the introduction of the star in the middle of the flag with the five points being the states of the country. In 2001, the country started to develop in the energy section as they are trying to be the first country to go off renewable energy which hasn't been done in the whole of Maia. This is currently being done by having hydropower on the River Woda which accounts to around 15% of the energy that is consumed in the country and is the leader in renewable energy.
